Major Recession On The Way
 PREVIEW
by Chris Martenson

There’s a massive recession on the way that will strike in 2023, of that I am about as certain as I can possibly be. Normally, I keep my options open, and of course, I stand ready to be surprised if a recession doesn’t materialize, but the chances of being wrong here are so low as…

The Impossible Financial Trap That Leads To The Great Reset
by Chris Martenson

The U.S. Government is facing an impossible financial future. The Doom Loop has been activated. It’s a death spiral that ends with the destruction of the U.S. dollar or a depression so bad it might as well be called Dark Ages II. This is what happens at the tail end of decades of really piss-poor…

Greatest Financial Crisis 2.0: The Reckoning is Upon Us!
by Chris Martenson

Okay folks, this is not a drill. Decades of stupendously poor monetary, (lack of) regulatory actions, and a completely useless watchdog press have now (once again) conspired to deliver us into the teeth of another financial crisis. This one will be the largest ever and could possibly result in damage so profound it never really…

Two things happened in the markets this week: The Fed Pivot What’s a Recession Anyway? First, the Pivot. Which hasn’t happened, insofar as I can see, but the markets appear to believe that the Fed has “pivoted” – setting up to raise rates less enthusiastically than previously thought. Listening to the Federal Open Market Committee…

Fed Meeting This Week
 PREVIEW
by davefairtex

We have a Fed meeting Wednesday; this week, there was no material change in rate increase projection from the futures markets: a roughly 81% chance of a 75 basis point rate increase, with more rate increases projected to come after that. (Source) The European Central Bank actually did raise rates 50 bp this week, for…

Rate Increase, Joe Popping Pills
 PREVIEW

I’ll lead again with my new focus: rate increases.  Where are we? Last week: July 27, 92%: 2.25%-2.50% +0.75% increase Nov 2, 50%: 3.25%-3.50% +1.75% increase This week: July 27: 71%: 2.25%-2.50% +0.75% increase Nov 2: 44%: 3.25%-3.50% +1.75% increase Source Not much change.  The prospects for a rate increase are similar to last week,…

Investing in the ‘Age of Consequences’
by Chris Martenson

Economic collapse is now unavoidable. Whether this happens via a deflationary or an inflationary or a stagflationary collapse is an open question, but also academic. In any of these future states, the average person gets economically harmed while the wealthy do relatively better. And by “collapse” I don’t mean “things suddenly go all Mad Max…

 Prep Now for the Coming Winter Challenges
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the needs and sustainability of our family. We have six young children, our oldest just turned 12 and our youngest just turned 3 months old. I love the considerations that the article had above and thought I would add a few things that I have considered for our situation. My...
